Ways An Altitude Trampoline Park Impacts Your Community

June 22, 2017

You may have enjoyed our hundreds of interconnected trampolines, maybe you’ve come over to Altitude for a bounce party or fitness class, but what happens at Altitude stays at Altitude right? Not so fast. Dedicated centers of play actually play an important role in surrounding communities, with benefits that -- frankly -- just warm the heart.

At Altitude, we really love showing everyone a great time, because we think it’s important and we love people. We don’t just want to be a destination, we want to be a positive part of your community. Afterall, a community that plays together, stays together.

So, we thought we would be good neighbors, and tell you a bit about what our presence in your backyard means for the neighborhood. Let’s take a moment to look at what research says about play centers.

We wanted to talk specifically about three key effects that a center of play like Altitude has on its neighborhood:

1. Increasing Family Happiness

A landmark report on play demonstrated that parents associated having fun in playgrounds with the well-being of their families. What’s more, families living near playgrounds and visiting those playgrounds more frequently reported higher levels of happiness.

2. Reducing Seedy & Criminal Behavior

The same study reported that public facilities dedicated to play and youth actually reduced levels of anti-social behaviour and vandalism in their surrounding areas. In other words, the good vibes actually ripple outward from play centers.

3. Bringing People Together

Public space of play can also change community attitudes and break down barriers. Play centers actually improved relations between different ethnic groups, and led to better adjustment of kids into their respective community and school. Excuse us while we wipe away these tears of joy.
